Requirements

Company Name:
Bernstein

Symbol:
- The symbol should only somehow contain a B (or b)
- I would like to have it artistic (freehand style)
- You should recognize the B more on the 2nd view
- Circles or squares with a B in it are to usual and not good enough
- The logo of http://www.adveq.com is really close to what I am looking for

Color:
Red and black only

General:
The logo should be timeless, so we do not like to much hyper modern 3D logos with glossy style. However the logo should as well not look oldfashioned, it should look modern, dynamic, unique and at the same time serious.

Important info:
We expect a custom made new logo. Don't post any symbols we could anyway download from the countless logo template sites in the internet.
